Dozens of people killed in Bastille Day attack in Nice

At least 84 people have died, including some children, after a lorry was driven through crowds of people celebrating Bastille Day in Nice.

The lorry drove through the crowds for more than a mile at the Promenade des Anglais at around 11pm, shortly after a firework display on the seafront to mark the French holiday.

There have been reports that the driver of the truck purposefully zigzagged to injure more people and it has also been reported the police found guns and grenades in the truck.

President Francois Hollande condemned the attack as and said it was of "an undeniable terrorist nature" adding "all of France is under the threat of Islamic terrorism.”

The state of emergency that has been in place since the November's Paris attacks carried out by Islamic State which killed 130 people has been extended by three months.
